Pristine Backwaters Painting

I am Sonali Shah, a homemaker turned artist who has found her true calling in the world of painting. From landscapes to various subjects, I bring nature to life with vibrant hues and captivating brushstrokes. My journey in art began in my childhood, with a deep interest in drawing that was further nurtured by the stunning places I have had the privilege to visit. In 2000, I graduated from J.J. School of Arts in Mumbai, and even during my college years, my talent was recognized when I won a national award for poster design on the important topic of Anti-Dowry campaign. Following my graduation, I ventured into freelance work in advertising, designing ads, posters, and brochures. However, my heart has always been drawn to the world of art. In 2019, I rediscovered my passion for painting and realized that it is my true calling. My inspiration predominantly comes from the breathtaking places I have explored, the natural beauty that surrounds us, and the rich traditional art that our country is blessed with. Through my paintings, I aim to capture the essence of the places I have visited, the scenic wonders I have witnessed, and the remarkable people I have encountered. Apart from my artistic pursuits, I have a keen interest in yoga, fitness, eco-friendly living, health, nutrition, and reading. These diverse passions enrich my life and infuse my artwork with a sense of balance and harmony. As an emerging artist, I am constantly driven to create new artworks and further nurture my passion for painting. I reside in Pune, India, with my loving husband and two beautiful children who inspire me every day. Together, we embrace a life filled with creativity and joy. I invite you to explore my gallery and experience the beauty and depth of nature through my art. Each stroke of my brush is infused with love and the desire to transport you to a world of enchantment. Join me on this artistic journey as we celebrate the wonders of nature and the limitless power of artistic expression.
